As Content Manager and Lead Designer for Darkling Press, I help bring every story to life long before readers turn the first page. From designing book covers and creating promotional graphics to managing website content and maintaining our online presence, I work to ensure every detail reflects the atmosphere and vision behind Darkling Press. I believe a great cover should do more than catch someone’s attention, it should spark curiosity and invite readers into the world waiting inside. Watching an idea grow into a finished book is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do, and I’m proud to help share these stories with readers everywhere.
